Our History

What Makes Us Unique

Wilson Funeral Home continues to provide the widest variety of services and merchandise available in the area and is regarded by consumers as the "Best Value" for traditional, contemporary, memorial, alternative, and cremation services. Now entering their fourth decade of service to the community, Wilson Funeral Home has evolved quietly to become Cornwall's largest family owned and operated funeral establishment. Having helped thousands of families, the Wilson family continues to provide what is considered to be the highest level of caring service in the funeral profession.
